User Reviews
PinoyTerrorFan – 7/10
“As a fan of classic Filipino horror, I appreciated the eerie vibe and Brocka's direction. The plot is a bit disjointed, but the atmosphere more than makes up for it. Maruja's presence is genuinely creepy.”
MidnightMovieMonster – 5/10
“I wanted to love this because of the director, but it felt too slow for my taste. The supernatural elements were interesting but not fully explored. It's more of a drama with ghost bits thrown in.”
EerieElena – 8/10
“The film's raw emotion really got to me. It's not your typical jump-scare horror; it's a slow burn that gets under your skin. Maruja's haunting is more psychological, and that's what I loved.”
ScaredyCatSam – 6/10
“It's a decent watch for a rainy night. The scares are subtle, but the performance of the lead actress stood out. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes their horror with a side of 70s melodrama.”
